What triggers the Star ending
The ending triggers when the news turns an ordinary screaming figure into a celebrity. The critical shot is the scream itself: you have to catch the spiky-haired square while it is yelling at another figure.
Miss the moment and the broadcast says oooooh just missed it. Hit it and the station follows the nobody's rise: local nobody goes viral, the whole park loves them, a star is born, then the star show.
What to photograph
The spiky-haired square in the middle of a scream. Frame the screamer and the person being screamed at. After the first broadcast, keep photographing the same figure as the park starts to celebrate them.
Step-by-step route
- Wait for a spiky-haired square to start screaming at a passerby.
- Photograph the scream while it is happening. The on-screen hint is ya gotta catch who's screaming at 'em; a miss shows oooooh just missed it.
- Follow the TV story: LOCAL NOBODY GOES VIRAL, then THE WHOLE PARK LOVES THEM.
- Keep photographing the new celebrity through A STAR IS BORN and THE STAR SHOW until the ending card appears.
- The star puts on sunglasses and a crown, the park copies the look, and the original screamer shouts That's MY studio!
Common mistakes
The scream is a short window. If you photograph the square after it has stopped yelling, the station marks the shot as a miss. Wait for the next scream rather than photographing the wrong frame.
Switching to another subject after the first viral report breaks the rise. Keep the lens on the new celebrity until the star show arrives.
How to confirm the ending
The card reads Star Ending, ending 14 of 14, with the tagline "the news made a nobody famous, and the nobody became the news". The sunglasses, the crown, and the crowd of imitators are the visual confirmation.
Headlines to watch for
These are the on-screen captions that tell you the route is on track. If the TV stops using them, the run has moved to another story.
